New imagery has been released from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, which captured a photo of a spiral galaxy more than 76 million light-years away from Earth.. The galaxy known to observers as ...
To some astronomers, the galaxy looks like a penguin or a porpoise. [5] NGC 2936, NGC 2937, and PGC 1237172 are included in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies as Arp 142 in the category "Galaxy triplet". On 20 June 2013, the Hubble Space Telescope examined and photographed NGC 2936. [5] NGC 2936 once had a flat, spiral disk. The orbits of the ...
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and Hubble Space Telescope captured a pair of spiral galaxies some 114 million light-years from Earth. The smaller galaxy on the left, known as IC 2163, passed ...
SMACS J0723.3–7327, commonly referred to as SMACS 0723, is a galaxy cluster about 4 billion light years from Earth, [2] within the southern constellation of Volans (RA/Dec = 110.8375, −73.4391667).
The spiral galaxy NGC 4622 lies approximately 111 million light years away from Earth in the constellation Centaurus. NGC 4622 is an example of a galaxy with leading spiral arms. [2] Each spiral arm winds away from the center of the galaxy and ends at an outermost tip that "points" in a certain direction (away from the arm).
Zooming In on the Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Gigapixels of Andromeda, is a 2015 composite photograph of the Andromeda Galaxy produced by the Hubble Space Telescope. It is 1.5 billion pixels in size, and is the largest image ever taken by the telescope. [1] At the time of its release to the public, the image was one of the largest ever ...
This unique spiral galaxy, which is situated 3.2 billion light-years from the Earth, has an extended stream of bright blue knots and diffuse wisps of young stars. [2] It rushes at 3.6 million km/h (1000km/s [2]) through the cluster Abell 2667 and therefore, like a comet, shows a tail, with a length of 600,000 light-years.
Abell 370 is a galaxy cluster located nearly 5 billion light-years away from the Earth (at redshift z = 0.375), in the constellation Cetus. [3] Its core is made up of several hundred galaxies. It was catalogued by George Abell , and is the most distant of the clusters he catalogued.
